A girl and a dog joined them in the truck bed. Grace was full of crying now and working her way up to screaming. Distraction needed and fast.
[color=7bcdc8]"Look Gracie, puppy,"[/color] Kat said, turning the baby towards the dog. Thankfully large furry things seemed to work just as well as small furry stuffed animals. The crying dialed back to whimpering as Grace stared at the dog, her little hands reaching out to grasp at it's ears. The dog was well behaved it seemed, allowing the baby to touch it's ears gently and the fur on it's neck. It even sniffed at the small human experimentally.

The girl was crying. Kat's newly found motherly instincts kicked it, even though the girl was not much younger than her if she wasn't the same age.
[color=7bcdc8]"Hey, you wanna hold Grace?"[/color] Kat asked, relenting enough in her overprotective tendencies to allow the presence of her child to calm the woman. For some reason holding a baby soothed some people. Probably their cuteness. [color=7bcdc8]"I'm Kathryn, but everyone calls... or did call me Kat. This is Grace. I don't think I got your name."[/color]

By that point they were heading down the road away from the yelling and fighting. Distraction was the name of the game now and not just for Grace.
